The response rate to interferon alfa (IFN-alpha) in patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 isolates is poor. A region associated with sensitivity to IFN has been identified in subtype HCV-1b isolates from Japanese patients in the carboxyterminal half of the nonstructural protein N

Amino acid (aa) mutations in the interferon-sensitivity determining region (ISDR) (aa position 237-276 of the nonstructural region 5A [NS5A] protein consisting of 447 amino acids) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) are related to increased interferon sensitivity and low viral load, but its mechanism has not
HCV reoccurs after liver transplantation and increases mortality. Cyclosporine, but not tacrolimus, has potent antiviral effects against HCV replication in cell culture. To determine the conditions, if any, under which HCV is susceptible to cyclosporine in vivo, we selected for cyclosporine-resistan
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural 5A (NS5A) protein has been implicated in the inherent resistance of HCV to interferon (IFN) antiviral therapy in clinical studies. Biochemical studies have demonstrated that NS5A interacts in vitro with and inhibits the IFN-induced, RNAdependent protein kina
## Abstract The nonstructural 5B (NS5B) protein of hepatitis C virus possesses RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase activity and plays an essential role in viral replication. The mutations in NS5B were determined and the correlation with viral load and response to interferon (IFN) were assessed. The entire
